Second Draw of the Weekend

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska Kearney and Missouri Southern soccer teams battled to a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon at Ron & Carol Cope Stadium.

The Lopers (2-3-2, 0-0-2) and Lions (2-3-3, 0-0-2) both had two ties this weekend. The all-time series is now 5-3-5 in favor of Mo Southern.

On a warm September day, UNK and MSSU both had seven shots with the Lions having a 4-2 lead in corners. Scoring opportunities were a premium with All-Region senior Hanna Schimmer (Council Bluffs, Ia.) having a shot on goal early but leaving the field at the 10-minute mark due to injury. She didn't return and has already missed one game this fall.

In the second half, sophomore Daniella Iaquinta (Aurora, Colo.) had a shot just go wide of the net as did an attempt by senior Gracie Perez (Kearney). On UNK's final corner, the ball bounced away from keeper Bella Smith, but a Lions defender got to the loose ball right before a Loper was about to get off a shot.

"The last part we need is for people to step up and put the ball into the back of the net. Not looking for excuses why it's not going in but learning how to create and be that goal scorer," said UNK head coach Rob Breton. "It's a tough situation to be in. If it falls, everyone is happy. If it doesn't, then what's going wrong? In reality, it's just the mentality."

The contest featured 34 fouls and two yellow cards with sophomores Serene Hamzeh (Iowa City, Ia.) and Reegen McKee (Fruita, Colo.) also having shots for the Lopers. Finally, keeper Susie Bovaird (Lincoln) recorded two saves.

"I'm always happy with a clean sheet. It's unfortunate that the clean sheet is being overshadowed by the fact we missed game winners," said Breton. "Very happy with the defense; they stepped up and did their job today. Susie really only had to face one or two difficult saves to keep us in it."

The Lopers head to Washburn (4-2-2, 1-0-1) and nationally-ranked Central Missouri (4-2-2, 1-0-1) next weekend.
